Introduction:

Modern computers are incredibly fast, and getting faster all the time. Computers only
natively understand a very limited set of instructions, and must be told exactly what to
do. A program is the reason why and how computer works. Programming language is
the soul of a program which enables it to communicate instructions to it. It is used by
programmers in creating programs. Today, there are enormous programming
languages and most of them are currently used by programmers in creating programs
that plays a huge role in social media.

To clearly understand programming language and how it works, the researchers

decided to make a research about a particular programming language called “PHP” in
order for the people to be knowledgeable about PHP and how it contributes in improving
computers.

According to ”The PHP Group” (2007), PHP is a powerful language and the interpreter,
whether included in a web server as a module or executed as a separate CGI binary, is
able to access files, execute commands and open network connections on the server.
These properties make anything run on a web server insecure by default. PHP is
designed specifically to be a more secure language for writing CGI programs than Perl
or C, and with correct selection of compile-time and runtime configuration options, and
proper coding practices, it can give you exactly the combination of freedom and security
you need.

This research provides an overview of the PHP Programming Language. The

researchers hope that the application of the following information will result in better
understanding and to improve academic achievement.
